It’s pretty simple for me - The best possible draft position is better for the franchise long term than 6 games of experience for Fields, especially at less than 100%. We know Fields can play, even with a sub-par supporting cast. Does anyone have any doubt that if Poles upgrades the OL and adds another weapon that Fields won’t light it up next year? Is 6 games this season going to change that? That’s absurd.
Playing Fields not only risks further injury, but also jeopardizes draft position. I would much rather avoid both of those risks. There is absolutely zero upside to going that route and a whole lot of downside
You are assuming we win with Fields which hasnt been the case. I prefer best draft position and 6 games of experience for Fields.
And yes I still have doubts Fields can take the next step as a passer as even when WRs are open he hestitates far more than is normal. He still has a ways to go as a passer so yes I still want him to get more experience if he is healthy enough to play. Dont count your chickens before they hatch.
